Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour half a litre of water inside the salt container
and then fill with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener
designed to remove minerals and salts from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse
effect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
German, French degrees and PPM (Parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the
hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water
Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water
in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.
You may change the factory level setting by means of
the wash programme selector push button. Each push
button corresponds to a different level.
To set a different level, proceed as
follows:
1. Press the "Intensive 70°" and "Bio 50°" programme
push buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
The pilot light corresponding to the current level
flashes.
2. Press within 5 seconds the programme push button
corresponding to the required level. After 5
seconds the the dishwasher will memorise the new
level setting and will return to programme setting
mode.
The setting will remain memorised after switching off
the dishwasher.

If your water is "level 1" it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at
level 1 the salt indicator light on the
control panel will always remain off.
